that photo is hysterical. especially since my cat likes to park his big old butt (yes, Shamey that's right your butt is big) on my desk when I work and he gets nutso every time I break out the twine and ribbons.

Hi PH in VA! When I googled Stuarts Draft, I found out it's called the Warehouse Capital of the US...didn't know that. I love when I step outside and the air is filled with the aroma of the McKee factory (makes Little Debbie snacks) that smells like brownies baking!

DH won't even chance me driving in the rain and definitely not when it's icy out. No one around here unless they grew up in the North like my DH who grew up in Utah and Illinois know how to drive that's why we shut the town down. When the weather gets that bad.

I remember in high school a California team came for a basketball tournament in the middle of December and one kids exclaimed "how do you breath here!!" Because it was so chilly.

As for driving, you get used to it. We had a particularly bad day last week. We got about 6 inches or more of snow in a short period of time, right before the morning commute. It took some people hours to get to work (or to make up their mind to turn around). One of our employees got stuck in a line of traffic behind two buses that skidded across the exit road and blocked the one-way route. Then, some people ran out of gas, blocking the others in line. It was looney bins.

Then there are the weird road names! I drive to work on one named Mule Academy Road! I'm not sure of its origin, but could come up with some ideas! Wouldn't want to have Lydia bring out the censors, so won't go there!

And if we're talking about fun names of places to live, Sugar Land is sweet, right Liz?

Wish I could say it was because all the people who lived here are sweet, but it once was to home of Imperial Sugar Company. Nowhere but Texas....places like Dimebox, Cut and Shoot, and Gun Barrel City.

I bet the Hershey plant contributes to the chocolate smell there, too.

We have the Best Buy distribution center near us... no nice scents coming from there. Oh well.

Speaking on these tamales, just what is the qualifier that you are sorting them for? Size, heat, what?

It's been a funraiser and people have ordered them by the dozen and type: beef, pork, or chicken. Oops, I mean fundraiser, although I guess we had fun putting these orders together!! We made a 40% profit so it wasn't bad.

Wanda, are you familiar with the tiny place called Pkin down in the southern part of our county? I've always wondered how it got its name.

I used to live in Elizabeth, NJ and there was a Berry Biscuits factory in town. Among other things they used to make Girl Scout thin mints. but I know what you mean about the aroma in the air.

I'm on the coast about an hour outside of Drain. Can't say I've ever been to Boring...not yet, anyway.

I'm pretty sure I drove through Boring once. But I guy I went to college with actually lived there. He said it lived up to its name.
I grew up near Salem, but went to college in Portland and lived in Bend for a few years.
